PHILALATHEAN SOCIETY. 



INTEODUCTOKY EEMAEKS. 



It is not expected that the following statistics will be matter of special 
interest to the public generally; but to those who rejoice in the progress of 
light and truth, and the upbuilding of literary institutions, and especially 
to those who have formerly been members of the Philalathean Society, and 
passed the most pleasant and instructive hours of their lives within her 
halls, it is hoped this little Catalogue will be an acceptable visitor. 

The Philalathean Society was formed in the year 1840. Previous to 
this time, there were three literary societies connected with the College, 
entitled the "Union Literary," "Whig," and "Philosophronian " societies. 
The Philalathean Society was formed by the union of the two latter. One 
of these had always been, and was at the time of union, as large and pros- 
perous as any in connection with the institution ; the other, although it 
had formerly held a respectable position, both as to character and numbers, 
was then very small. As the number of students in College was then 
small, it was thought to be for the good of both College and Societies that 
a union should take place. Accordingly, in October, 1840, a meeting of 
the Whig and Philosophronian Societies was held, the union agreed upon, 
a new constitution rlrafted and adopted, and a new Society formed, assu- 
ming the name "Philalathean," and the motto "Excelsior." According 
to one of the By-Laws, all who had been members of the Whig and Philo- 
sophronian Societies were members of the Philalathean. From its forma- 
tion to the present time, the Society, through every vicissitude, has been 
steadily advancing, until it is now larger, more independent, more zealous 
in its literary labors, and possessed of greater facilities than at any former 
period. The Society has a commodious and richly furnished hall, a large 
and well selected library, and in its members, embodies a high order of 
talent. Many of the best and most useful men in the land, look back to 
their connection with this Association as the source of their usefulness, 
success and greatness in the world. As a general thing, the Society is 



PHILALATHEAN SOCIETY. 

proud of the character sustained by those whom she has at various times 
sent out; yet at the present time, the Society has thrown around it a 
stronger and deeper moral and religious influence than at any former period 
of her history. Many of those whom she now sends forth into the world, 
are preparing themselves for the ministry, and many of those now connec- 
ted with the Society have the ministry in view. It is hoped that those who 
have formerly been members will not forget the association where their 
first literary effort was made, and where their intellectual powers were awa- 
kened and called into vigorous exercise. The Philalathe^an Society will al- 
ways be ready and happy to acknowledge the gratitude of her sons who return 
to visit their parent, and give encouragement and advice to those who are 
soon to follow them into the great theater of action, 



PHILALATHEAN SOCIETY. 5 


The following is 


a list of the members of this Society from October, 1840, 


to October, 1849. 


The Society grants an honorable dismission to those 


who request it, and have paid their dues; and also confers Diplomas upon 


all her Graduates, and to any under graduate whom she may deem worthy of 


her honors. In assigning occupations, some mistakes may have been made, 


and some are unknown; and we have assigned to each one his residence at 


the time he connected himself with the Society :
